Project Grant 13MD10726

This is a Project Grant award of $497,308 from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033), with an award date of September 30, 2025 and an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026. The grant is awarded to Three Oaks Homeless Shelter Inc., doing business as Three Oaks Center, a non-profit organization located in Lexington Park, Maryland.

The purpose of the SSVF Program is to provide supportive services grants to private non-profit organizations and consumer cooperatives, who will coordinate or provide supportive services to very low-income veteran families who are residing in permanent housing, are homeless and scheduled to become residents of permanent housing, or have recently exited permanent housing and are seeking other suitable housing. Grantees must provide outreach, case management, assistance in obtaining VA and public benefits, and may also provide temporary financial assistance for housing-related expenses such as child care, transportation, rental assistance, and utility payments. The grant enables Three Oaks Center to deliver these comprehensive housing support and wraparound services to help veteran families quickly access and maintain permanent housing while promoting self-sufficiency and preventing homelessness.
